Something different! Eleven contacts in 2+ hours with a minimalist trans-ceiver
running 450 mw to a dipole. I was using the Breadboard Splinter (google
it!)which has a direct conversion receiver- receiving both sidebands with
perhaps -6dB at 4 KHz and -60dB at 20 KHz, so receive and transmit were
equally challenging! The Splinter doesn't have break in, ability to use a
keyer, or a user-friendly VXO (requires using a small screwdriver) so usually
by the time I got on someone's frequency, they had left! I used the one finger
onboard key (google it and you'll see) which I'm sorta getting used to. Good
ears awards go to K0RF, N9RV, N2IC, and N6RT all 1200++ miles away who copied
the 450 mw! Each contact was a a rush and a memorable event.
